There’s some pretty interesting stuff coming down the pipe. I like the Calendar store, which lets any application work with the iCal calendar info in much the same way as AddressBook.framework opens up the Address Book. Maybe we’ll see some enterprising developer add support for travel time in calendar display?

Maybe not to people in the "Real World", but those of us on a college campus might want to have similar information with walking distances. The question now is, does anyone have a graphic of tiny footprints so I can add another mockup?</p> Thanks, Buzz – so it just occurred to me that sometimes walking is an option… Maybe not to people in the “Real World”, but those of us on a college campus might want to have similar information with walking distances.

Now i understand - I thought the home 'road' was the time to get home after the game. Very cool idea.</p> Ah. Now i understand – I thought the home ‘road’ was the time to get home after the game.

Maybe I didn't pick the best example, but I did really mean to have the home line above the event - showing you how long it'd take to get to the rink if you were at home instead of being at the office. I'll update the drawing, since if that's the case, then it should also really tell you how long it'd take to get home from the office and how much time you'd have at home before you had to leave for the rink...</p> William – Not sure what you mean there.

My only dispute is that I think the 'coming home' line aught to extend below the event, not above. After all, we're modeling time, not space.</p> <p>.william</p> That’s a pretty slicky idea.
